Design of Dismantlable Adhesives Using Reactive Polymers

Abstract

Dismantlable adhesives, which achieve enough adhesion strength in use and easy debonding on demand,have attracted much attention from industrial and academic perspectives. Dismantlable adhesives are one ofpromising materials and technology for resource and energy savings. In this review article, the examples ofdismantlable adhesives based on various stimuli-responsive polymeric materials were introduced. Especially,design and development of dismantlable adhesives using reactive polymers, such as degradable polymers,cross-linkable polymers, and side-chain reactive polymers, were explained in detail.
